3M Scott Safety Contour 300 & Contour 500

3M Scott Safety Contour 300 & Contour 500 incorporate innovation and creativity in design and application, maintaining 3M Scott Safety's reputation for
being at the forefront of breathing apparatus design and manufacture for over 30 years.

Providing operational flexibility and upgrade-ability, the
Contour features exceptional levels of comfort, reliability and
maintainability. With both the single cylinder Contour 300 and
the twin cylinder capable Contour 500 versions, 3M Scott Safety has
a breathing apparatus to meet the professionals' most exacting
requirements, which reflects 3M Scott Safety's stated philosophy to
produce equipment customers wear by choice, not just necessity.

BACKPLATE AND HARNESSES

At the heart of the 3M Scott Safety Contour is the lightweight
composite backplate. The ergonomic shape provides optimal load
distribution and balance, with minimal profile to allow ease of
movement. As well as the pivoting side arms providing excellent
lateral support, the backplate is designed to flex, providing a high
degree of mobility. The impact resistant polyamide composite
material is both anti-static and non-conductive.

The Contour 300 backplate features a single cylinder retainer,
whereas the Contour 500 model has a second support to allow
twin cylinder use in conjunction with a high pressure manifold. The
fully adjustable 100% Kevlar cylinder band features a unique over
centre catch with a safety locking feature. Uniquely, the hoses are
channelled along the inside of the backplate to prevent damage and
minimise snag hazards.

The Contour 300 and 500 both feature a harness constructed from
Kevlar blend materials and feature closed cell foam padding. The
Contour 500 harness features a full length backpad as standard, as
well as wraparound hose retainers. These facilitate the attachment
of the latest electronic systems and simplify the removal of the
pneumatic assembly.

The Contour is available with the full range of 3M Scott Safety masks,
including the latest Vision 3 or Promask types. All masks are
constructed from non dermatitic materials. Coated polycarbonate
visors provide resistance to most common chemicals and provide
facial impact protection. Suitable for use with the latest lowprofile
helmets, both elasticated net harnesses or integrated
helmet clamps are also available. All 3M Scott Safety masks feature a
low profile, bayonet side fitting connecting the demand valve for
superior verbal communication. The Vision mask's unique shape
also provides excellent peripheral vision.

DEMAND VALVE

The Tempest automatic positive pressure
demand valve features low breathing resistance
and unsurpassed dynamic response, combined
with peak flow performance in excess of 1000
litres/minute. As well as first breath actuation
and a hands-free bypass facility, the valve
features a unique, fail-safe servo-mechanism.

In common with all 3M Scott Safety pneumatic
systems, the Tempest provides the benefits of
full user servicing with proven reliability and low
through-life costs.
